The most beautiful waterfalls I've seen. These waterfalls are so impressive, they were the backdrop to the Hunger Games movie. This town is about 2hrs from Kannapolis, so it makes for a great weekend getaway. There are several waterfalls, but the Sliding Rock Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, High Falls, and Triple Falls are one of my favorites.
